Command ===> _____________________________________________ Scroll ===> PAGE- In the Target alias name field, enter the name of an existing IMS Connect or ODBM alias.
- (Optional) In the Target ODBM name field, enter the name of the ODBM to which Energizer will route messages that use this alias.You can leave the ODBM name blank. In this case, Energizer will sEND the alias to ODBM, and ODBM will decide where to route it.
- Specify a load balancing weight, in the range 0 through 100.Energizer uses the weight value to determine how much message traffic to route to this alias, in proportion to the weights assigned to other aliases. For example, if you assign a weight of 50 to this alias, and a weight of 25 to another alias, Energizer routes twice as much traffic to this alias as it does to the other.
(Optional) Select one or more of the following options by entering a slash (/) in the selection field to the left of the option:
Activate target alias
Enable Energizer to route messages to this alias.
Preferred target alias
Enable Energizer to prefer this target alias over other aliases. Energizer routes messages to an existing, active preferred alias before routing message to any non-preferred aliases, regardless of their load balancing weight. If you define multiple preferred aliases in a routing group, the load balancing weight determines the amount of traffic that Energizer routes to each preferred alias.
Always reject
Enable Energizer to reject any message that is sent to the result group in which this alias is active. This option provides an easy way to return message traffic to a result group. In a similar way to the operation of a mailer daemon, Energizer returns to the END user all messages that were routed to every alias in the result group, and issues an accompanying error message.
If you want to stop traffic to an alias and cause Energizer to route messages to other aliases instead, deselect the Activate Target Alias option for the alias instead of selecting this option.
- If you want to ADD another target alias, enter ADD in the Command field.Energizer saves the entered information and clears the Target alias name field. Enter a new alias name, and change the values in the other fields as necessary.
- When you have ADDed all target aliases, or updated an existing target alias, enter the END command (F3).Energizer saves the target aliases and displays the ODBM Routing Options - Target Aliases panel, listing all target aliases that you have defined.
- When you have finished working with target aliases, enter the END command (F3)Energizer displays the ODBM Routing Options panel.
